Get used to Ben not being mentioned in anything that rates players....He was hardly recognized before the DTF incident. It'll take 3 more SB's and at least 2 SB MVP's before he gets any credit again........

Ben is not particularly "elusive". He extends plays through strength shedding potential tacklers. Someone who is elusive" is hard to catch.

The epitome to me of an elusive QB was Fran T back in the day.

I don't even recall the Steel Curtain sacking Fran Tarkenton during the Super Bowl. That guy was elusive.

:Steel Eh...Ben's not really elusive, he's just tough to bring down. How about Michael Vick, that dude's pretty elusive.

The first points of that game was a sack of Tarkenton by Dwight White for a safety. That one's pretty memorable.

Kordell was number 10.

Yeah, we all remember that Kordell was number 10. But where did he finish on this list? :P

lol... Ben gets hit a ton... he is far from elusive. Hard to tackle, strong and mobile but elusive? not so much.

I'll assume that one of the criteria used for calling one elusive is "sacked fewer than 50 times per year. :lol:

I didn't think they sacked him I thought there was a bad snap or something. Thanks, I'll see if I can look for that on youtube.

Yeah, our defense shut out their offense in the Super Bowl. I wonder if any team has ever done that in a Super Bowl ? Chuck Knox must have been kicking himself to make it to three Super Bowls and his final chance was against the greatest defense ever. What a kick in the teeth to have to face the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

Chuck Knox? I remember him coaching for the Seahawks and Rams, but I don't recall him ever coaching in Minnesota. I think you are thinking of Bud Grant.

Yeah, and the last SB his team was in was against the Raiders, not us.
